Hello Dale,
I'm not sure what you mean by "linking" the titles in alphabetical order,
but I'll guess that your document already contains the titles of the 50
states -- not in alphabetical order, or you wouldn't have a problem -- and
you already have text under each of those headings.
Assuming this, and that you have applied a heading style to the state
headings, go to View menu -> Outline, then select all the text that's
displayed in that view, then Table menu -> Sort. The document will be sorted
in alphabetical order of headings, and the text that appears under each
heading will stay with its own heading.
If the headings are not in a heading style (e.g. they might be emboldened
Normal), first apply a heading style to the first one, then arrow-key
downwards and hit Option-Return every time you come to another heading.
On looking again at your question, it occurs to me that your ref to
"linking" could mean you want a table of contents that would list the states
so you could click on to an entry and be taken to the appropriate page. With
heading styles applied as above, click at the front of the document then
choose Insert menu -> Index and Tables -> "Table of Contents" tab.
